'Mod Duino' by Pat_Flannery

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

*The objective of this research project is to create a robust, easy-to-connect prototyping system for embedded products that can be used with a variety of sensors and the Arduino family of microcontroller boards.
*The two STL files provided are used for 3D printing the main platform and the modules.
*The main platform has holes for an Arduino Uno microcontroller to be mounted onto it. There are also slots in the side of the main platform that allow the USB port and barrel jack to be exposed, which will allow code to be easily uploaded to the Arduino Uno's microcontroller without unscrewing and removing the board.
*Up to three modules can fit inside the platform. The modules are used to hold small ProtoBoards (1 x 1 inch) that are meant to have sensors and wires soldered to them.
*Even with three modules attached to the platform, there is space for a mini breadboard. This breadboard gives space for additional resistors, LEDs, and ICs that are not included within the modules to be used for a prototype.
*The use of the 'Mod Duino' should make a prototype much more portable, without having to worry about connections of sensors or wiring to become disrupted.
